Hi Folks,

I'm trying out the K8s Operator (a.k.a. ECK) and so far, so good.

However, I'm wondering what the right pattern is for, say, configuring Kibana and Elasticsearch with the Apache module.

I know I can do it ad hoc with:

```auto
filebeat setup --modules apache2 --strict.perms=false \
  --dashboards --pipelines --template \
  -E setup.kibana.host="${KIBANA_URL}"

```

But what's the automated way to do it? I see some [docs for the Kibana dashboard portion of it](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-beat-configuration.html#k8s-beat-set-up-kibana-dashboards).

Note: At some point, I may end up actually _running_ a beat for the K8s cluster, **but I'm not at that stage yet**. At the moment, I just want to set Elasticsearch/Kibana up with the Apache module so that _external_ Apache services' Filebeats can work properly.

Thanks,  
Jamie
